Reclaim the territory?
Baron Wood looked at Owen in shock, which means that the lord took away all the privileges of the nobles in the border town, which was undoubtedly working against all the nobles.However, the territory is more important than one's own life.Not to mention, the land of Frontier Town is becoming more and more barren under the influence of the curse, so don't let this territory go.In this case, there is no need for Baron Wood to continue to argue with Owen, just tear his face here."
Marquis Eisen, it's your business if you want to stay and die, but don't pull me.I definitely want to take my family to Dongsheng Fortress for refuge, no one wants to stop me, you have to take this broken land, hum!
”Leaving behind the harsh words, Baron Wood turned around and left.Getting into the nearest carriage, he told the groom to set off at once, and walked away in the presence of Owen.Dare to talk to Lord Owen like this, don't you want to live?
Marpel on the side was already so angry that he held his hand on the hilt of the sword, but as soon as he pulled out a short section, he was stopped by Owen raising his hand.Otherwise, Baron Wood would have been stabbed in the back the moment he turned around.Standing behind, Owen watched the four carriages gallop in the direction of the docks, the corners of his mouth slightly raised."
Lord Owen, are you really going to let him go like this?
He defected in front of you, and it would not be an exaggeration to put him to death on the spot. ”Marpel dissatisfied."
Let him go, it's not good to kill him."
Although the execution of Baron Wood would restore the land, the other nobles were not allowed to rebel against the lord if they knew about it.Anyway, it's all death, so it's better to fight to kill the lord, and become a land that can not only survive, but also divide the lord.For now, Owen has to concentrate on dealing with the coming winter, but he has no time to deal with the rebellious little nobles."
Really?
All right. ”Since Owen had said so, Marpel had no choice but to take the sword back.She knew that she was stupid and could only slash and slash, and she believed that Owen was right.In fact, from the beginning, Owen didn't want to keep Baron Wood, what is the use of leaving a nobleman who can run away at any time?
He wanted nobles who dared to fight the undead on the northern walls, like Viscount Jarvis.What's more, Owen's purpose has been achieved.That is to tell those nobles who are still preparing to escape through what happened today: Afraid of death and want to leave?
Yes, but when the man is gone, the land belongs to me.As for why the hanging, for defection, Baron Wood, was also frightened by hanging, there is also a reason.It's a method of extreme pressure, which Winster taught Owen.It is to tell you first that I can put you to death and make you terrified, and then change my words and say that I want to take back your territory.In this way, you will feel that it is much better and psychologically acceptable to just take the territory than to put it to death.If you just say that you want to take back the territory, it will not be easy to provoke strong resistance from the other party.…… In the afternoon, Owen and Marpel arrived at the warehouse where the black powder was stored, with the materials needed to make the improvised explosives pack.As soon as you enter the warehouse, you can smell a strong smell of gunpowder.Couldn't help but reach out and pinch his nose, Marpel frowned slightly, and complained: "It smells like rotten eggs, it's really unbearable." ”"You smell hydrogen sulfide, the same thing that is the main gas that rots and smells like eggs.""
Hydrogen sulfide?
What is that?
”Mapel's face was full of question marks, and he didn't understand it at all."
Uh......
It's nothing. ”It's not that Owen doesn't want to explain, it's that it's too cumbersome to explain, and it involves the content of chemistry and part of physics.You have to accept the concept of atoms in order to understand the compound hydrogen sulfide, which is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one sulfur atom, and then explain its properties from a chemical point of view, and maybe even from a biological point of view, to explain the spoilage and smelliness of eggs.It took Owen a long time to accept and understand the above knowledge in his dreams.If you want Marpel to figure it out, forget it, he can't afford to toss.Taking out the prepared black powder, Owen weighed a full twenty catties on a balance on the wooden table.It's all about the shock effect when it's shown.With such a large weight, I don't know if I can blow up the lord's castle.Owen had only done a small number of flash tests, and the rest had been explosions described by Winster, and had not yet seen them with his own eyes.Therefore, he is also looking forward to tomorrow's test explosion.Next, Owen slowly poured the black powder onto a piece of tailor-made cowhide.After pouring, wrap it up and layer upon layer, wrapping it in three layers very tightly, and then tie it tightly with a rope, leaving a treated lead on the outside.If the weight is not so large, the lethality of the explosive package of this method is actually very limited.However, this is for display purposes only, and it doesn't matter."
Okay, tomorrow you can rely on it to calm everyone's panic and help me hold it."
Owen handed the wrapped explosives bag to Marpel, who held it in his arms.Feeling the weight, Marpel still doubted: "Shen is quite heavy, but will this thing really explode with a bang like you said?"
”"Just wait and see."
Owen said confidently.…… At noon the next day, there was a makeshift platform on the open flat ground to the east of the town, and many townspeople gathered in front of the high platform, waiting for the lord to come to power in a noisy noise.As far as the eye can see, the black pressure is a large piece.It seems that the use of food to attract people is quite right, and more people have come than Owen has made his first appearance since he inherited the title.Don't let the free lunch be in vain, many people are dragged over with their families.Almost everyone carried a wooden bowl with them, which they used to hold wheat porridge.Before ascending the high platform, Owen saw two people talking on the edge of the wooden ladder.The two were Clive and Viscount Jarvis, who first noticed Owen and nodded at him.The only nobleman present was Viscount Jarvis, the other nobles had run out, and the last minor nobleman had left the border town by land in a carriage this morning.The movement of running away is really fast, of course, this also has something to do with the small number of nobles in the border town.Most of them were minor nobles who existed before the Eisen family took over the border town, and they had close interests with Dongsheng Fortress, and basically belonged to the people on the side of Dongsheng Fortress.Let's go, Owen is completely indifferent to those little nobles, and by the way, he can completely uproot the noble forces left over from the Dongsheng Fortress from the border town.As for their land, Owen unceremoniously took it.There was another reason why those nobles gave up their territory so easily to take refuge, in addition to the fear of death.That is, they felt that Owen couldn't hold the northern wall.As long as the lord dies in battle, or admits defeat and abandons the border town, there is still a chance to get back the land that was recovered, so I am not very worried.Noticing Viscount Jarvis's actions, Clive turned his head to look.Now that the lord has arrived, it's time for Clive to get back to work.He first said sorry to the viscount, and then came to Owen."
Lord Marquis, everything is ready, you can come up to the stage to speak."
