I'm not a lord

Chapter 29 Honor and Promise
Because the demon bear was too large and it was too late, Lin En and his team could not deal with the body on the spot. They could only drain the demon bear's blood first and then return to White Bear Town.

Although it was late at night, the serfs in the villages along the way had not yet gone to bed.

They were afraid that the horrible monster would attack the village and were so worried that they couldn't sleep at night.

When the lord returned victorious, the serfs who had been waiting along the way for a long time were completely excited.

They held bright torches and excitedly gathered around Lynn and his group, as if welcoming their savior.

For the lower-class serfs in the North, the biggest threats to them are the heavy taxes imposed by the lords, the monsters in the forest, and the unpredictable rain and snow.

Serfs contributed more than half of their labor to their lords just to survive.

That's it.

Now we hear that the lord personally hunted down that unprecedented seven-meter-tall terrifying demon bear and protected the safety of the territory and its people.

How could they not cheer?
When Lin En arrived at White Bear Town, the free people in the town were also in an uproar.

They sought refuge with the lords and exchanged their skills for the status of freemen.

What they desire is nothing more than a stable living environment.

Now the lord has personally proved that he and his warriors can protect the safety of the territory.

All monsters that invade the territory will be killed.

This is the most pleasant gospel for the free people.

Blacksmith Qihe and carpenter Tolima organized people to build a cart overnight and promised to transport the body of the demon bear back to the castle before sunset tomorrow.

Lin En led his men eastward along the avenue, and they were greeted with heartfelt praise and applause.

This was the first time the bandits had seen such a scene.

In the past, they acted as destroyers, plunderers, and destructors, and people along the way avoided them like tigers and wolves and avoided them like the plague.

The people were afraid of the bandits' weapons and cruelty, and they forced themselves to smile and greet them on the surface, but they cursed them harshly in private.

The bandits were naturally well aware of this, so they squandered all the money they earned in the city's brothels and taverns.

The prostitutes don't ask where their customers come from, nor do they care whether the money is clean or not. They treat their generous customers with flattery and fawning attitude from the inside out.

But today, this group of murderous horse bandits heard praise from ordinary people for the first time, and their actions were recognized by the general public for the first time.

This brings them unparalleled spiritual enjoyment.

The bandits all knew that the main credit for hunting the demon bear belonged to the big brother, and they just acted as an atmosphere group at most.

But this does not prevent them from feeling proud, or even walking with their heads held high and blushing with excitement.

This is exactly what Lynn is happy to see.

Through this bear hunting operation, the horse bandits gained recognition, praise and respect from the people.

They have begun to understand what a sense of honor is.

At the same time, they should also be able to vaguely feel that the weapons in their hands are not wielded just for personal wealth.

Of course, this was just the beginning. Lin En never expected that he could correct the bandits' banditry in a short period of time.

But today was undoubtedly a good start.

As the night deepened, the team around Lynn grew larger.

When he saw the iconic red roof of the riverside castle, he looked back and found that a long fire dragon had formed behind the team.

Many serfs even sang and danced as they walked, as if they were attending a bonfire party during a festival.

"Second and Sixth Brothers, tell the serfs that they will have a holiday for the next week and don't need to work, but they must go back to sleep today."

As a lord, Lin En can freely decide the holiday arrangements in the territory.

Apart from the fixed holiday every Sunday, the rest of the holiday arrangements depend entirely on the lord's mood.

Generally speaking, common holidays in the North include the Lord's Birthday, Harvest Festival, May Day, etc.

Some black-hearted lords would cancel all extra vacations and work their serfs to death, but the yield of the farmland would be even lower.

The serfs were not tireless machines.

If the lord requires the working hours to be too long, they will collude and slack off.

It's impossible for every serf to have a village head to look after him, right?
And the village head can also be lazy.

The serfs in White Bear Territory have been working overtime for ten consecutive days to make compost.

Taking advantage of the celebration of hunting the demon bear today, Lin En gave the serfs a week-long holiday.

After the holiday, the exciting spring plowing and planting will begin.

The second and sixth brothers took the order and left.

The good news of a week's holiday spread quickly, the serfs cheered, and the long fire dragon dispersed, eventually turning into stars that illuminated the White Bear Territory.

When Lynn and his men arrived at the castle gate, Old Albert and others who had received the news had been waiting for a long time.

"master!"

Lao Ai was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.

To be honest, he was really worried about the master's safety.

What does a seven-meter-tall demon bear mean?
In the more than one hundred years of history of the White Bear Territory, it has never been attacked by such a terrifying monster.

Just over twenty years ago, a demonic bear less than six meters tall was enough to turn the entire territory upside down.

In order to deal with the demon bear, the previous lord spent a huge sum of money to hire more than fifty elite mercenaries.

During this long and agonizing half day, Lao Ai was even thinking about how to welcome the next lord.

After all, Lynn has no legitimate descendants who can inherit the territory.

But the lord's power was beyond his imagination.

The seven-meter-tall demon bear was killed in just half a day, without even asking for any outside help, relying solely on the twenty or so men under his command.

Who would believe this if I told others?
When he heard that the demon bear had been killed, Lao Ai immediately realized that the new lord was simply the God of War!
Not only was he full of martial virtue, he also brought magical technologies such as heavy plowing and composting to the territory.

Today, the White Bear Territory is powerful in military force, and the grain harvest is about to be unprecedented.

Is the White Bear Territory, which has been silent for a hundred years, finally going to take off?
Lin En dismounted and threw the reins to Old Ai, who was so excited that he was in tears, and said calmly:

"Feed my horse some oats and eggs, then go home and sleep, and don't bother me for the next week."

"Yes, sir! I will not trouble you!"

Not to mention asking Lao Ai to get out, he would be happy even if he was asked to squat down and bark like a dog.

Being the lord's dog is the greatest honor!

After Old Ai and his son Little Ai hurried away with their horses, Yagena walked up to Lin En in small, hesitant steps.

"grown ups."

Even in the dark, Lin En could still see the alluring blush on the girl's fair neck.

Yagena didn't dare to look at Lin En. She lowered her head and wanted to bury her chin in her plump chest.

Unlike old Albert, she always believed that Lynn would return triumphantly.

The possibility of Lynn failing never crossed her mind.

Lin En's confidence and momentum that soared to the sky before going to the battle gave her infinite strength and confidence.

When the news of the lord's killing of the demon bear reached the castle, she was also overjoyed.

But then she realized that it was time for her to fulfill her promise.
