Chapter 1217: Doodom of Everwinter
”Your, your lordshi+p the Aruard rushed into the castle hall and reported the news, all the nobles rested their eyes on him
”Are you sure?” Earl Marwayne asked as he stood bolt upright
”I'uard said while nodding vigorously ”Soht and also abandon a lot of food”
”They're finally gone!” exclaihter His heart instantly lightened A dom of Everwinter and soon taken over many port cities They accepted neither their surrender nor presents but started to evacuate the cities ieous than the church's At least, the church would provide theotiate
The reason provided by the Graycastle men was also quite ludicrous They clai swift destruction to the kingdom Therefore, everyone must leave as soon as possible This was the land passed down by generations, and the earl would not allow anyone to take it away from him Neither the church nor Graycastle could do that!
”Your lordshi+p,” a withered, ancient scholar said oily, ”the so-called full moon, sickle moon, dark moon and bloody Moon are simply astronomical phenomena They appear every now and then If they believe that it o as your lordshi+p holds onto this land, they can't do anything about it”
”That's right, the treacherous precipices around the Snow Reflection Castle will protect you from any invasion”
”We won't yield even if the Graycastle otiate”
”The church threatened you first as well, but in the end, they had no choice but to promote you to bishop”
His other henchmen all rejoined
Earl Marwayne becaazed at the sinister bloody Moon that had eradually dissolved into gratitude Had the bloody Moon not appeared just in time, the Graycastle men would have continued to advance, and he would have definitely lost his precious Snow Reflection Castle
Although the earl had heard that those barbarians rarely attack or interfere with a city ruled by a noble, taking away his people was intolerable
If all the surrounding cities were evacuated, who could he rely on during the Months of Demons?
Like his henchmen had said, this city was his asset It was to the north of the king's city, situated aaps between the city and the precipes were around a few miles to hundreds of aps were actually wide enough to house a few castles
His ancestors picked this isolated land to build their castle because this area ell fortified In fact, the Snow Reflection Castle had never fallen Even though the Church of Herdom of Everwinter in a very short period of tied to drive their army into the Snow Reflection Castle Instead, they had sent aotiate with the lord and pro as he pledged fealty to the church This hat a normal person would do
That hy the earlto sell the city at the best price
However, he could not accept Wimbledon's conditions
Earl Marwayne did not think that the demons referred to by the Graycastlecliffs were natural defense However, he needed surrounding towns and cities to provide him with resources Without people, his current stockpile would be exhausted eventually
Fortunately, these Graycastle men all fled when they saw the bloody Moon
”Mr Zac, what should I do next?” Marwayne asked the old scholar
